Perfectly good slice of bread utterly ruined by Marmite
Perfectly good slice of bread utterly ruined by Marmite
A lovely, fluffy slice of fresh white bread has been ‘irrevocably ruined’ by the addition of Marmite, according to reports this afternoon.

Is that stuff similar or the same as vegimite? I've had vegimite. Hated it.
Yes supposed to be similar. Ideally you're supposed to put just a small, barely there smear over butter on toast. Too much it's bad. This is second hand because I've not had the...pleasure.
Yes, this is spot on. So many Aussies introduce unsuspecting tasters to napalm levels of Vegemite that it turns people off for life. It's like, "Hey champ, let me spread this cube of beef bouillon on your toast; you're gonna love it." Marmite has more of a yeasty flavor and, for the record, Promite beats them all hands down.
Nah heap it on, and some coon cheese too cant beat it
I feel like I'm walking into a trap even though I'm fairly well traveled. What is "coon cheese?"
I'm guessing you milk a raccoon and then process that lovely raccoon milk into cheese 🤷
That's just what a viking hippie would say.
Yep! We are indeed famous for our Bandit Brie and our Scavenger Sardo. Our Trash Tapas aren't half bad either.
It's a brand name of cheese that is ubiquitous in Australia. They recently rebranded to "Cheer" due to the racist connotations of their former name.
Great stuff
Yeah, use about as much as you would use salt on something. It's basically flavored salt.
From some reviews Ive seen, they taste wildly different. Same idea, behind the product though. From what Ive heard, vegemite has a more vegetal taste, while marmite has a more yeasty/bready taste like a dark ale.
They also have a completely different consistency. Spreading vegemite is very similar to butter, marmite is thick and syrupy and drips everywhere and makes a mess. I prefer vegemite.
I might actually like marmite then. As long as it's not super, super salty like I remember the Vegemite being. Though, to be fair to Vegemite, I tried it way back when I was still in the cub scouts (not even bou scouts yet) so it might just have been offensive to my undeveloped taste buds.
Perhaps. I know even some native Aussies dont care for Vegemite either.
I havent had either, so I can only go off of what Ive read. But Id be down to try it, given the chance. I think Vegemite might be great as an umami kick in stews and things, like bullion base.
Marmite is actually saltier
